Magnesium is an abundant mineral in the body with a body containing on average 25g and 60% of this is found in bones. It is a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body and is therefore vital for a number of cellular processes. Current food practices involve high levels of processing means that magnesium intakes have significantly decreased in recent years. Another factor which is leading to reduced magnesium intake is poor soil quality with reduced mineral levels due to widespread use of artificial fertlisers. This has resulted in a reduced mineral content of the vegetables including magnesium. Magnesium is important for the normal function of muscles and metabolism. Magnesium also contributes to the maintenance of bone health and reduces fatigue.

Viridian Nutrition: the fundamentals

Nutrition is the fundamental cornerstone to human health. Every single reaction, biochemical pathway, and physiological event that takes place in our bodies, requires nutrients at some stage. An elaborate and perfectly organised sequence of vitamins, minerals, fats, and amino acids, allow our bodies to function on a day to day basis. However, when our needs in this area are not met, things can quickly begin to go awry. Therefore it is essential that we pay serious attention to our daily diet. A diet based around whole foods, fruits vegetables, and the right types of fats can be the greatest health insurance we can have. Nutritional supplementation is also a practical tool. It is a sad fact that in today’s modern world, we cannot rely 100% upon the quality and nutrient density of even the best fresh produce, due to intensive farming, depleted soils and environmental factors. Coupled with this, we have far greater physical demands placed upon us, meaning that very often our requirements for specific nutrients are higher than they ever have been if we are able to cope physiologically. Nutritional supplements, when used correctly can be a valuable tool in addressing such issues.

More Info

The last thing you might think about while you lay awake at night with insomnia is the mineral magnesium. But you should, because low dietary intakes are very common and could be the reason some people suffer from insomnia.
Low dietary intake of magnesium is very common and associated with various symptoms such as muscular weakness or fatigue. Subsequently improving the intake of magnesium may prove beneficial in regaining restorative sleep.
It is thought that sub optimal magnesium intake may contribute to lowered production of the sleep hormone, melatonin. Evidence shows that low magnesium has been associated with nervous excitability and poor sleep quality.
Studies have suggested that magnesium has a regulatory effect on serotonin and dopamine and that a subsequent low magnesium status contributes to insomnia and sleep problems. Supplementation may offer a calming effect on this mechanism that then contributes to relaxation and the onset of sleep.
Try taking 200 to 300 mg of magnesium once daily for 2-3 months, it takes a bit of time for your bodies levels to build back up is you are low, but it could make all the difference to your sleep and overall well-being.
